This is episode 3 of our Human Development series. At Method, we want to help our people grow in their craft and serve our clients as best as possible. In this episode we discuss Personal Brand and why this subject has become so important in business and professional development.

This episode will feature Dr. John Tuders, Method's Executive Director of Business and Human Development, and Dr Alex Jacobs. Alex brings almost a decade of experience in leadership development and coaching. 

For some, the idea of a personal brand sounds like it belongs strictly in the world of social media, but it’s bigger than that. Our personal brand helps guide us in how we work and it allows others to know what to expect when working with us. This can’t be created without first examining ourselves and giving an honest assessment of where we are and where we want to grow. In other words the process of creating a personal brand requires us to know thy self.

This the second piece of our Human Development series.  In this episode John Tuders and Josh Lucas lead a discussion on Relational Intelligence. We talk about why this is an essential skill in  building dynamic relationships and why it is vital to your success in your professional career.

Michael Gray, Method’s Head of engineering. Michael brings a wealth of experience with over 20 years as a leader in the technology space. Also joining us will be Cat Carter. At the time of this recording, Cat was a principal strategist at Method and an active member of our Financial Services industry practice. She recently left to pursue her interests in cooking and hospitality and will be opening a restaurant with her partner this fall. 

I think it is easy to assume that relationships just naturally happen as a result of work interactions but how strong are those relationships? the truth is, in order to have meaningful connection with the people around you those connections must be nurtured and cultivated. 

This episode marks the beginning of a short series, focused on Human Development. At Method, we want to help our people grow in their roles and develop their craft but in order to do that successfully it requires interpersonal skills that often go overlooked. In this series John Tuders leads discussions ranging from Filter Quality, Relational Intelligence, Leadership Brand and more. 

In this first episode, we discuss the importance of filter quality. You’re going ot hear a few new voices. Dr. John Tuders, our Executive Director of Business and Human Development has over 25 years of experience in the communications and banking industries. He is also a professor at UNCC’s Belk College of Business where he focuses on human behavior within organizations.

You will also hear from Jose Ruiz. Jose is a Senior VP at one of the biggest banks in the United States and he brings over 30 years of experience in financial services with a focus in strategy & data analytics. Jose is passionate about helping others grow and advance in  their careers. He is an executive sponsor for an employee network focused on developing Hispanic associates within his organization as well as being involved in non-profit work around the city of Charlotte.  

In a world where we are bombarded with countless forms of communications, all jockeying for our time and attention, it becomes harder and harder to determine where we should focus our efforts. Filter quality helps us do exactly that. But it’s a skill that takes time to develop and hopefully this podcast can help you start that process. 

In our third episode of the OK I'm Curious series, Cary sits down with Senior Experience Designer, TJ Edwards. TJ shares how he helps people move past the fear that comes with being told to be creative. As an engineer turned educator turned designer, he's seen creativity in all it various forms and believes that with the right tools and exercises, our fear can melt away.
